Dr. Carr has been at Trine since 2003 and has been principally involved in developing the department’s electrical power and machines courses.
He earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Ulster and his Ph.D. from Queen’s University. Both institutions are in the United Kingdom.
He has received two McKetta-Smith Excellence in Teaching Awards from the university during his tenure at Trine. The university honored him with the John J. & Mary Gelet McKetta Excellence in Teaching Award in 2025 and the Steve & Mary Yacynch McKetta Excellence in Teaching Award in 2016.
“Dr. Carr has been a great professor to work with throughout my time at Trine University,” said Ian Fruchey, an electrical engineering major from Wauseon, Ohio. “His teaching has helped me and many other students more thoroughly understand many topics that are hard to explain. His commitment to strong, comprehensive, understandable teaching does not go unnoticed, and I'm greatly appreciative of all the ways he has helped me in my studies.”
“Just as Christian Campus House impacts students spiritually, we’re grateful for the many Trine professors who work to ensure their students are performing well academically and enjoying a well-rounded college experience,” said Travis Wilhelm, lead campus minister and university chaplain. “We’re glad to Dr. Carr as one of these dedicated faculty members.”
CCH seeks to help Trine University better the student community as a whole by creating a ministry that serves their spiritual needs.
